WTPS21 PGTW 20140307 02:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN A 240 NM RADIUS OF 14.3S 150.6E WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 070130Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 14.3S 150.6E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.6S 153.1E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 14.3S 150.6E, APPROXIMATELY 125 NM NORTH- NORTHEAST OF WILLIS ISLAND, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH FORMATIVE CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. A 062353Z METOP-B IMAGE SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING PERSISTING ALONG THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN FLANK OF THE BROAD LLCC. A 062353Z ASCAT IMAGE SHOWS THE BROAD CIRCULATION CENTER BUT PROVIDES EVIDENCE THAT THE SYSTEM IS SLOWLY STRENGTHENING WITH 25 TO 30 KNOT WINDS WRAPPING INTO THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM WILLIS ISLAND INDICATE 25 TO 30 KNOT SUSTAINED SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS. UPPER- LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS AN IMPROVING ENVIRONMENT WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (10 TO 20 KNOTS) AND FAVORABLE OUTFLOW, ESPECIALLY POLEWARD OUTFLOW, WHICH IS ENHANCED BY STRONG WESTERLIES OVER CENTRAL AUSTRALIA. DYNAMIC MODELS CONTINUE TO TRACK THE SYSTEM SOUTHWESTWARD WITH A SLOW INTENSIFICATION TREND. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. DUE TO IMPROVED ORGANIZATION AND FAVORABLE CONDITIONS, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 080200Z.// ========================================================================= WTPS21 PGTW 20140308 02:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 14.9S 150.0E TO 18.2S 147.3E WITHIN THE NEXT 06 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AND RADAR DATA AT 080130Z INDICATE THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 15.7S 149.5E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 14.3S 150.6E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 15.7S 149.5E, APPROXIMATELY 45 NM NORTHWEST OF WILLIS ISLAND, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH WEAK FORMATIVE BANDING SHEARED SOUTHWESTWARD. A 072333Z AMSU-B OUTLINES THE FORMATIVE BAND IN A LINEAR ORIENTATION SOUTHWEST OF THE LLCC. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE CYCLONE HAS DRIFTED INTO THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IN AN AREA OF MODERATE (15 TO 20 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. HOWEVER, THE OUTFLOW - ESPECIALLY ON THE POLEWARD SIDE - REMAINS SOLID AND CONTINUES TO ENHANCE THE ASSOCIATED CONVECTION. DYNAMIC MODELS CONTINUE TO TRACK THE SYSTEM SOUTHWESTWARD AND INTENSIFIES IT TO AT LEAST 35 KNOTS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS, SUPPORTED OBSERVATIONS FROM WILLIS ISLAND, ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS HIGH. THIS SUPERSEDES REF A (WTPS21 PGTW 070200). 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 090200Z. // ========================================================================= WTPS21 PGTW 20140310 02:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN A 170 NM RADIUS OF 18.9S 151.4E WITHIN THE NEXT 06 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 100130Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 18.9S 150.8E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 06 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 18.4S 150.5E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 18.9S 150.8E, APPROXIMATELY 130 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF WILLIS ISLAND, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) REMAINS PARTLY EXPOSED AS THE DEEP CONVECTION CONTINUES TO BE SHEARED SOUTHWESTWARD FROM THE LLCC. THIS IS ALSO EVIDENT ON A SERIES OF MICROWAVE SATELLITE PASSES INCLUDING A 092253Z AMSU-B PASS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN A POOR ENVIRONMENT AS MODERATE TO STRONG (25 TO 30 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) CONTINUES TO DISPLACE THE CONVECTION. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS, SUPPORTED BY A 092254Z SCATTEROMETRY PASS, ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1001 MB. NUMERIC MODELS ARE PREDICTING THE CYCLONE TO RECURVE NORTHEASTWARD IN THE NEAR TERM. THIS WILL BRING THE SYSTEM CLOSER TO THE RIDGE AXIS IN AN AREA OF LOWER VWS. IN VIEW OF THIS, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 110200Z. // ========================================================================= WTPS33 PGTW 20140310 09:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (HADI) WARNING NR 001// REF/A/MSG/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/100151ZMAR2014// AMPN/REF A IS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT.// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (HADI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 175 NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF WILLIS ISLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED EAST- SOUTHEASTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS THE ILL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS MOVED CLOSER TO THE DEEP CONVECTION THAT HAS BEEN SHEARED TO THE SOUTH. A 100510Z SSMI MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS AN INCREASE IN CONSOLIDATION AS THE LLCC MOVED CLOSER TO THE DEEP CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED UPON THIS MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH LOW CONFIDENCE AS THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF AMBIGUITY IN THE EXACT POSITION OF THE LLCC. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS BASED UPON THE INCREASE IN CONSOLIDATION AS DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGE FROM 30 TO 45 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT AS VIGOROUS POLEWARD OUTFLOW IS OFFSETTING STRONG TO MODERATE (20 TO 30 KNOTS) NORTHERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). TC HADI IS SLOWLY TRACKING ALONG A WEAK PERIPHERY OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE NORTH OF THE SYSTEM. THIS NER IS EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND ACCELERATE THE SYSTEM TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE VWS IS EXPECTED TO SLIGHTLY RELAX, ALTHOUGH REMAIN AT MODERATE LEVELS, AS THE SYSTEM TRANSITS TO THE NORTHEAST WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR A SLOW INTENSIFICATION REACHING 55 KNOTS BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. AVAILABLE NUMERIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS LARGELY SPREAD WITH A 500NM SPREAD BY TAU 48. DUE TO THIS, THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK IS POSITIONED CLOSE TO MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS WITH LOW CONFIDENCE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 100600Z IS 10 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 102100Z AND 110900Z.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 19P (HADI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 514 NM NORTH OF BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS PERSISTENT DEEP CENTRAL CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 101622Z SSMI MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS INCREASED DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED UPON THE EIR AND ABOVE MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS BASED UPON THE INCREASE IN CONSOLIDATION AND DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS NOW LOCATED IN AN IMPROVED ENVIRONMENT WITH FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW. TC HADI IS SLOWLY TRACKING ALONG A WEAK PERIPHERY OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE NORTH OF THE SYSTEM. UNDER INFLUENCE OF A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT, TC 19P IS FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY, POSSIBLY QUASI-STATIONARY MOVEMENT OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. BY TAU 24, THIS NER IS EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY AND ACCELERATE TC 19P TO THE NORTHEAST. IN THE LATER TAUS, ANOTHER NER WILL BUILD TO THE NORTHEAST, DOMINATING THE STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND TURNING TC 19P EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD. TC 19P IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD, LEADING TO A PEAK OF 60 KNOTS BY TAU 120. AVAILABLE NUMERIC MODEL GUIDANCE HAS IMPROVED; HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL A 250 NM SPREAD AT TAU 48. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF MOVEMENT IN THE NEAR TERM AND A LARGE SPREAD AMONG MODEL TRACKERS, THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK IS POSITIONED CLOSE TO MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS WITH LOW CONFIDENCE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 101800Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 110900Z AND 112100Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 17P (GILLIAN) WARNINGS (WTPS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 18P (LUSI) WARNINGS (WTPS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.// ========================================================================= WTPS33 PGTW 20140311 09:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (HADI) WARNING NR 003A RELOCATED// RMKS/ 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (HADI) WARNING NR 003 RELOCATED 03 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONES IN SOUTHPAC MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY --- WARNING POSITION: 110600Z --- NEAR 17.5S 151.1E MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 345 DEGREES AT 04 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 060 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 025 KT, GUSTS 035 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER REPEAT POSIT: 17.5S 151.1E --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 111800Z --- 16.4S 151.7E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 025 KT, GUSTS 035 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER --- REMARKS: 110900Z POSITION NEAR 17.2S 151.2E. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 19P (HADI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 306 NM EAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) REVEALS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLCC) BECAME FULLY EXPOSED AND MOVED NORTHWARD, AWAY FROM THE DEEP CONVECTION, OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WEAK LOW LEVEL CAN BE SEEN IN A 110653Z SSMIS- 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE, AND THE NORTHWARD MOTION IS FURTHER SUBSTANTIATED BY A LOOP OF TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER. THIS WAS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE RELOCATION OF THE LLCC. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TOO WEAK TO SUPPORT DVORAK ESTIMATES. THE INSTENSITY WAS ASSESSED AT 25 KNOTS BASED ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE EXPOSED LLCC. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SUGGESTS THAT TC 19P SUFFERED FROM INCREASED SHEAR AS MID- TO UPPER-LEVEL TROUGHING MOVED THROUGH. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK NORTHEASTWARD WITH THE LOW- TO MID- LEVEL STEERING FLOW, AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THE LLCC MAY RE- ORGANIZE OVER THE NEXT 36-48 HOURS AS UPPER-LEVEL CONDITIONS IMPROVE. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 110600Z IS 12 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 17P (GILLIAN) WARNINGS (WTPS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 18P (LUSI) WARNINGS (WTPS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.
